Brocatelles
Brocatelle belongs to the lampases family. It has large decorative motifs in relief, and its pattern is obtained by the juxtaposition between the first warp and first weft, both in silk, with a second series of warp and weft. The last series is very rigid, usually made of hemp or linen, and gives the fabric its special relief effect.
Being lighter than brocade, it lends itself to being used in particular in luxury furnishings, for upholstery and liturgical vestments.
